Professional Dog Trainer

Yashar Zamanian is a professional obedience dog/puppy trainer with several years of experience in Sacramento.

Every year in The United States thousands of dogs get euthanized or end up in the pound. This is directly caused by irresponsible dog ownership and irresponsible dog breeders. It is critical that dog owners understand how to communicate with their k9 companion. The owner of the dog must be the leader in the relationship. Dogs do not understand how our society works. You have to guide them through our human environment. The most responsible way of achieving this is to hire a reputable professional dog trainer.

1. GROUP CLASSES: A dog trainer that only provides group classes has figured out that you can make a lot of money in one lesson by having a lot of clients at once. This method also brings more clients because the cost per person is less than private lessons but, group classes are not very effective. The dogs and their owners are distracted the hole lesson. It is also very hard for the dog trainer to make sure that everyone is doing things correctly. You should hire a dog trainer that provides private lessons and does a group/distraction lesson on the third or fourth lesson..

2. IN HOME LESSONS: In home lessons are also very important because most dog behavior problems root from the relationship at home. If your dog does not have the right relationship with you at home were 90% of your time is spent how, can you expect him to listen elsewhere. A dog trainer that is not willing to do home dog training lessons is trying to save time and money and is not concerned with getting results.

3. DOGGIE BOOT CAMP OR BOARD AND TRAIN: Most people that hire a board and train dog trainer do not have the time to train their dog or just are being lazy. If you cannot provide the time and effort to train your dog then maybe you should ask yourself if you should own a dog at all. Doggie boot camp makes the highly experienced dog trainer the leader and makes you look weak in your dog's eyes. When the doggie boot camp dog trainer brings back your dog he will give you a demo of what your dog can do. You will be amazed until your dog stops doing it for you, because his leader is not there anymore.

4. ADAPTABILITY: You should always hire a dog trainer that can use multiple methods. Every dog and their owners are different not all dogs respond to the same method. The dog trainer must asses your dog's temperament and see what works best for your dog and the family.

5. EXPERIENCE: There are many drivers in the world that have been driving for many years, but still can't parallel park or drive a manual transmission. Dog training is the same way. Make sure you hire a dog trainer that can help you with your problem.

6. TESTIMONIALS: A dog trainer should not have any problem providing you with references and testimonials.

7. GUARANTEES: A dog trainer that gives guarantees with out even meeting you and your dog just wants your money. Dogs are animals not car parts. You as the owner must be able to follow thru with what you have been taught and adapt. Unfortunately sometimes the owner is not able to deal with the situation and the dog needs to be re-homed. We at doggie den adopted Ranger our German shepherd for this reason. Now he is a obedient member of our family and a assistant dog trainer in lessons.

8. STAY AWAY FROM LIFE TIME PACKAGES: Why would you want a dog trainer to come back for the rest of your life if you're not getting results? What if the dog trainer goes out of business or moves? What if the dog trainer can not help you with your problem after paying him an arm and a leg for lifetime training? What if your dog does very well after a few lessons?

9. CHAIN PET STORE DOG TRAINER: Dog training is an art and science that takes years of experience and natural talent. Not all people have the natural talent to become a successful professional dog trainer. A chain pet store dog trainer has been hired as a employee to go through a crash course on dog training. Their method is geared for you to fail and purchase again. This is truly not their fault. They do not know any better. These dog trainers would do just as well as cashiers.

10. HOW MUCH SHOULD I PAY A DOG TRAINER: : reputable dog trainers should charge somewhere from 75$ an hr. to $250. Most reasonable dog trainers have packages were you pay for a number of lessons and get a discount. Be careful most board and train dog trainers charge for a whole month but work with your dog for only 4 to 8 hrs.

11. GO WITH YOUR GUT FEELING: You should hire a dog trainer you feel comfortable with. An honest dog trainer, not one that uses a lot of sales tactics and someone who truly cares...
